This week we had a lot on our minds as a family. At first we had to organise a fund rasing Barbecue for 188 persons. The purpose of this Barbecue is a Mountainbike team called 'Ride for Liz', named after my daughter Lizanne who suffers Duchenne dystrofy. They are gonna participate in the mountainbike tour Duchenne Heroes (700 Km in 7 days through 4 countries). Members are my husband Rob, my son Sander, and my brother in law Maurice. It was a succes. The weather was great, (no rain, not to cold, not to hot, sometimes sunny), the food was excellent and the wine and beer served a lot. Together we had raised a nice amount of money for Duchenne.

There was just one black cloud over this barbecue, my father in law died suddenly on wednesday before the barbecue. We couldn't pospone the barbecue, and we all were convinced that my father in law would persist that we just go on. We had some double feelings by organising a party and a saying goodby in the same time.

Some time ago I made templates myself with hot glue, and made a colorful page with dylusion ink and my homemade templates. The page was stille waiting to be tangled. And because my father in law was a very kind and warm person who was very very proud of his children and grand children, I used this rainbow paper for the Diva Challeng 222 to honnor him.

Also I made a little meandering booklet a couple of weeks ago, and I decided to do the Diva Challenge #223 on the first page of this booklet, although, when I finished tangling, I saw it turned out to be my last page. The umble tangle is a nice one when I look at Maria's versions, but I don't get it to look like that, I think I have to practice this one more to achieve a better woven look. For now this is the way it came out on my little page (A little bit bigger than bijou size).
